Ever find yourself bored stiff right after the middle of July? For College Football fans, this not so captivating time of year drags on for just over three weeks each year. Right now would be the beginning stages of the "dead zone," a.k.a. the second half of July and the first week of August before College Football two-a-days start.

Oh joy.

The option of Arena Football does not exist. No NFL preseason games. Not even high school football – at least not actually games – kicks off until August. Woe as me.

Thanks to the wisdom of some Cable TV networks, however, there is a ray of sun shine. That's right, great games from the past on various Fox Sports stations and Sunshine Sports. Several of the Florida schools have games, and there have been other games with teams like Tennessee as well. Hey, it's better than nothing; so do not knock it. It's the middle of July, take what is available and run with it.

After the next couple of weeks are complete, that's when the various conference media days begin. The Big XII, Pac 10, etc. will hold their annual media conferences and where head coaches propel their usual drivel about how excited they are for this season to get started because they feel the team can be really good if it works hard enough. Yes, one needs knee-high boots to wade through all the manure that the head coaches spew, but it's better than watching Days of Our Lives for crying out loud. Not that I watch that show, but anyway…

Just think, three weeks from now some College Football Programs will be lining'em up and knocking'em down in the midst of two-a-day practices … awwww the sounds of August. If the aforementioned thought does not bring a smile to one's face, that individual is not a true College Football fan.

These porous days will soon be over. Players such as Knowshon Moreno (pictured above), Chris Wells, and Pat White will once again dance across the TV screen come August. ESPN Sportscenter will have segments covering College Football two-a-days, with all the comedy from Lee Corso and the gang working with College Game Day included.

Hold on College Football fans, just a little bit longer before the fun begins.
